Northam Freight Services

One hour east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway, Northam is the gateway between the metropolitan area and Western Australia's wheatbelt — everything heading inland towards Merredin and the Goldfields passes through the Avon Valley. QFM stations pallet, carton and trade loads into the town from Perth and all capitals, with outbound collections from the industrial estate and surrounding wheatbelt arranged on request.

The largest town in the Avon Valley, Northam services a broad rural catchment of farming communities, construction projects and regional businesses. Residential growth, infrastructure upgrades and agribusiness support keep freight volumes consistent. On-forwarding to York, Toodyay, Merredin, Narrogin and Moora covers the wider wheatbelt and central WA corridor.
